| Review: | These papers review the role of functional foods in helping prevent cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes. The book begins by looking at the potentials and limits of functional foods (foods that provide a health benefit beyond basic nutrition) in preventing cardiovascular disease and diabetes and looks at the health claims for such functional foods. The following four parts look into the subject in more depth, discussing: diet, cardiovascular disease and diabetes; phytochemicals and cardiovascular disease; controlling dietary fat; and starch and other functional ingredients. |
